nios2 disables swap for a good reason: it doesn't even provide sufficient type bits as required by core MM. However, swap entries are nowadays also used for other purposes (migration entries, PTE markers, HWPoison, ...), and accidential use could be problematic. Let's properly use 5 bits for the swap type and document the layout. Bits 26--31 should get ignored by hardware completely, so they can be used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
